English Education is published by CEE, the Conference on English Education, and serves as a forum for discussion of issues related to (1) the nature of our discipline, especially as it spans all levels of instruction, and (2) the education and development of teachers of English at all levels. (Published October, January, April, and July.)

October 2008 English Education

In classrooms in which dialogic discourse is more pervasive, students learn that their ideas count, that class is not just a review of last night's homework or a quiz about what they have just read, but also about collaboratively figuring things out in class, face-to-face. Their teachers validate student responses by following up with subsequent questions, a process Collins (1982) calls "uptake." Their teachers also ask open-ended, "authentic" questions to see what they think, not just what they can remember. --Dorotea Anagnostopoulos, Emily R. Smith, and Martin Nystrand (October 2008 English Education, p. 5-6)
